Sneak Peak Of The Purple Line Extension And Tunnels 

Saturday and Sunday it’s 2 cars

They might have done that because they increased the train frequency to every 8 minutes as of 12-10-23. Shorter trains but more of them. That's better.

​​@@metrorailinlosangelesprodu4407Not when I rode the E line a few months ago during the weekend to go to the Broad.

​@@metrorailinlosangelesprodu4407 I saw the Purple Line tunnel extension opened last year in 2023. It looks just like the Regional Connector.

Metro is running less service frequency than when the Gold line first opened. MTA's operations, both raill line frequencies and train capacities, are often insufficient to attract new riders, or even (like on weekends) to accomodate the riders they currently have. MTA's operations are so bad, that it is one reason that MTA has lost over 500,000 daily riders since 2014, even before MTA found the "Covid" excuse. And worse, MTA is handling less than half of the passengers it did on an all bus system for the 1984 Olympics. MTA needs to start operating these systems correctly (more frequencies and more cars) if they expect it to perform that well in the next Olympics.

That was a version of the whistles used on Pacific Electric trains way back in the day.

Well it’s opening next year but late . According to construction workers Metro might open one station only if it’s gets delayed even more

That would be nice. Also, at some point next year, the new subway trains will start to enter service. I will miss the A650s when they retire. I have literally been riding them my whole life.

God these trains have become so dirty

​@@michaelbilgen2976I read it will be a phased in approach so we should see a mix of both for a while.

​@@jackwiegmannYeah, they're over 30 years old now, but they've held up reasonably well over that time. They do look dated though. The new ones are awesome.

That’s not possible it’s only 4 or 6 cars . Metro stopped putting 6 cars and now it’s 4 cars

@@metrorailinlosangelesprodu4407 I’m referring to the light rail.

​@metrorailinlosangelesprodu4407 Though I predict tge line will get much more used once the new sections open. Since both the B and D line are getting new trainsets, they might add more cars in the near future. The new trainsets will have open gangways too. Very exciting.

@@mrxman581They need to do something with the B line.

​@@Volkswagen-of-DeutschlandAll the subway stations have been getting some upgrades like much better lighting. They have more cleaning crews, security guards, and transit ambassadors. And the B line will get new train cars, too.

The whistle is to represent the Pacific Electric Red Cars Los Angeles had in the 1950

@@metrorailinlosangelesprodu4407 Definitely!! It's almost like a revival of the Pacific Electric. The Blue Line now known as the "A" Line is definitely like a restoration of the Pacific Electric from Los Angeles to Long Beach CA.

@@metrorailinlosangelesprodu4407 It does bring back memories of the Old Pacific Electric Interurbans.

Purple line won’t open until next year

It’s only runs 6 cars when more people ride and gets busy

Because Saturday and Sunday Metro runs 2 cars only

@@metrorailinlosangelesprodu4407 don’t they run 3 cars for events? Because with how many people were in that they better run more. Also, was this filmed before or after the frequency increase?

The video was filmed yesterday

@@metrorailinlosangelesprodu4407 yikes, they need to run longer trains

@@AshmewStudios I was mentioning this issue earlier on the comments section. I took the A line blue train from Vernon station to apu/ citrus college in Azusa. It was crowded. 2 car train is not stable anymore.

I’m excited to make that video soon

@@metrorailinlosangelesprodu4407 Same here but I don't take the D line much

Yeah, I thought that too, but seeing the tunnel is good enough for now.

Hopefully this year . If not then next year

Yesterday

​@@metrorailinlosangelesprodu4407 What time was it when the Purple Line tunnel extension opened?

All the tunneling was completed as of May 2024.

Unfortunately yes . It’s very important to look around when on those platforms.

@@metrorailinlosangelesprodu4407 every metro ceo is liable for wreckless endangerment for not safeguarding customer safety, I'm SHOCKEDDDDDD no one sued yet

The tunnels .
